Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-4.5) for Duckworth – 1.88.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Under 22 – 1.65.
Duckworth defeated Debra and Machac in two sets last week. He’ll probably have no trouble against Rosol. All the more, Lukas is in bad match form at the moment. We do not expect much resistance from the Czech.
Recently, Rosol has been losing to opponents who are much weaker than Duckworth. He will probably not be able to put up much of a fight against the Aussie. The match should not turn out to be a long one.
Duckworth did well at last week’s tournament in Cassis. The Australian representative defaeted Antoine Bellières, Gabriel Debru, Borna Gojo and Tomas Machac. It looked like James would win the competition, but his hand trembled in the deciding match. Duckworth couldn’t find a countermeasure to Hugo Grenier’s game. He lost with a score of 5-7, 4-6.
It is worth noting that James is not performing in the best way so far this season. In 2022, he has played 31 matches, in which he has only 14 victories.
Duckworth has won his last 4 matches in a row at the Challenger level.
Rosol is not going to end his career just yet. That’s despite the fact that his results have been unimpressive. In the last two Challengers, Rosol failed to qualify. In Seville, he lost to Marek Gengel (6-0, 6-7, 2-6). In Cassis, he lost to Matteo Martineau (3-6, 7-6, 4-6).
So far, Rosol has only been able to claim victories on clay. The Czech representative has won 24 matches there so far this season. On other surfaces, he is not so successful and often loses.
Rosol has won 4 of his last 5 first-round matches.
In 4 of Rosol’s last 5 matches, less than 9.5 games have been played in the first set.
